• How the Exchange Works •

     •     Design a holiday gift tag.  If you need ideas or inspiration take a peek at some of the tags from our previous tag exchanges, or check out some of the links in the sidebar. Your holiday tags may be as simple or as complicated as you'd like. We love all kinds of tags: plain or fancy, humorous tags, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year's, simple or elaborate.  Anything goes, as long as you create the tags yourself. All ages welcome. 

     •     Make 12 tags of your original design. Write the name of your city or town (and country, if you live outside the USA) in small print on the back of each tag. When you open your package it's fun to see where in the world each tag came from. If you want to make more than one set of tags, that's great! If you send us 12 tags you'll receive 12 in return. If you send 24, you'll receive 24. 

     Make sure we receive your 12 tags by December 14th, 2024, and be sure to include $5 for shipping (international shipping is $20) if you'd like your new tags mailed to you.  Just remember to include your name & address somewhere in the package so we'll know who to send them to! If you prefer not to send cash through the mail you can venmo me @writerleigh. Or, if you live nearby (East Bay) I'll just hand deliver them to you at no charge.
